Ash, May, N, and Pikachu stepped into the foyer. There, they confronted Archer, Charon, and Brodie. The three villains waited for them. "This is as far as you go," Archer threatened the trio with a Pokéball in hand.

"We will take the Griseous Orb at all costs," a manic Charon laughed.

"Omega will have what he wants soon enough," Brodie fixated his eyes on Ash.

"Then we'll just have to fight you too," Ash grabbed one of his Pokéballs.

"And I can assure you that we'll win," May also grabbed a Pokéball.

"Go, Carracosta!" N brought out the ancient Proturtle Pokémon.

"Krookodile, come out!" Ash called out.

"Glaceon, take the stage!" May summoned her Ice-type.

Brodie, Charon, and Archer were amused. The trio threw their Pokéballs to reveal three Legendary Shadow Pokémon. Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres released violent cries when they appeared before their opponents. "The Legendary Birds of the Kanto region," N clenched his teeth.

Ash and May remembered the birds from TV. It all made sense now. "You won't get as lucky as you did with Mewtwo. You don't have your Legendary Pokémon to defend you this time," Charon smirked, seeing that Victini was absent.

"We're enough," Ash didn't shy away, making Charon frown in annoyance.

"We'll wipe that smirk of yours soon enough. Articuno, use Ice Beam on the floor!" Archer commenced the triple battle.

May knew what Archer was trying to pull, "Glaceon counter it with Ice Beam." The ice Pokémon prevented Archer from using the battlefield to his advantage.

"Quick thinking, May," Ash complimented the brunette.

"We're just getting started," May winked.

"Carracosta, use Rock Slide!" N commanded the Water-type. The turtle unleashed a shower of rocks to target the three birds.

"Dodge!" the three villains ordered. The Kanto birds avoided Rock Slide and used Ice Beam, Flamethrower, and Thunderbolt on the heroes' Pokémon.

"Defend with Stone Edge!" Ash commanded Krookodile. The Dark-type stomped the ground, prompting stone pillars to rise and protect the trio from the birds' attacks.

"N, follow our lead," May said.

N readied himself, "Right!" Ash and May took advantage of the birds' proximity and had their Pokémon use the pillars as jump points to strike the birds.

"Glaceon, use Ice Beam on Zapdos!" May pointed.

"Krookodile, use Stone Edge on Articuno!" Ash punched.

N saw what the trainers did, "Carracosta, use Hydro Pump on Moltres!"

The trainers' quick reaction caught the villains off guard. They saw all three Pokémon climb to the top of the stone pillars and throw themselves at the birds. Glaceon struck Zapdos into an old bust. Carracosta blasted Moltres into the ground. Krookodile's sharp stones pierced through Articuno's icy feathers, making the Ice-type drop to the floor.

"That's your first and only hit!" Charon announced. The madman had Zapdos unleash Thunder on the battlefield.

"Krookodile, lunge at Zapdos with Dragon Claw!" Ash had Krookodile take Zapdos head-on since it was immune to electricity.
